We were heading north after a rough night in a hotel down south. It was my wife’s birthday, and the day started off wrong. In Garberville, we saw a little café on the corner and decided to go in. That was so many years ago. I’ve got good memories of that day. I don’t go back often now, and each time it’s a little less. Someday, I won’t go back at all. But that’s just how life goes.
Please, do yourself a favor and stop here. Small local gems like this are a vanishing breed, and this place is the real deal. My first thought was that I had stepped back in time based on the decor alone. Then add in truly kind and efficient service, immaculate everything, and food that literally tasted like childhood. If you are a chili fan, I cannot recommend a cup of this strongly enough. Perfectly seasoned, plenty of cheese and onions. Patrons and servers joke around good...
A fantastic hometown Cafe. I got the fish and chips and my dad got the country fries steak. Everything came put piping hot! My fish was super crispy and juicy, the fries were crispy and fluffy! The tartar sauce was so lemony and creamy! The staff were super friendly, getting regulars by name, and chatting with us too even though we aren't from here. Just a wonderful place to stop after camping in the lost coast!
